  1. Regardless, the left-wing isn't going to do anything to stop the US from moving in that direction. The Democrats will will take their place under it.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  2. Folks should use their platform as they choose. Surely, the folks in charge of the system have their reason(s) for leaving double-entry accounting out of high school curricula since the 1950s is a question that should be posed to the white folks in charge of the system. Establish a platform to promote those idea(s). Malcolm X and MLK Jr. were too busy tackling the issues of civil rights. Both of them were assassinated long before they could take on more issues. However, there is no better time than now to champion the cause, concern, issue of which one feels passionately. Start a movement or consult with one that is already established. ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  3. No surprise there. If a picture is worth a thousand words, that fella looks like he has zero interest in going down the rabbit hole of planned obsolescence in automobiles. Trillions of dollars have been wasted on a whole lot of sh8t in addition automobiles since the 1960s. ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  4. Great news if it's true. At some point, AfroAmericans have to deal with these murders differently. Otherwise, as sitting ducks, it is going to keep happening.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  5. Right. Because the shooter wasn't a marksman per se, that's why I don't think the shot was as destructive from the reported distance but obviously, it was effective. IMO, the unaliving of a white nationalist doesn't warrant conspiracy theories. He's dead. Nothing left to see here.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  6. The Supreme Being I'm referring to would be the Creator of all things. But, keep in mind that I'm the resident agnostic around here. My disbelief runs deep.๐Ÿ˜ Don't waste too much effort on me when it comes to religion. That's why I typically stay out of that dialog.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  7. Supreme Being created evil beings. Knows better but is going to let it play out until judgement time. Seems contradictory.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  8. They cancelled Arsenio for having Minister Farrakhan on his show.๐Ÿคฃ Attempted a comeback show but it was short-lived. White folks can rebound from transgressing against each other. They aren't extending that same olive branch to non-white folks.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  9. True. White folks do have better access to money if/when they need it. I don't believe white folks want a race war but they are prepared and staying ready in the event that it breaks out.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  10. Correct. But, they have been spending plenty money on research and development though. There's a cancer research center in d8mn near every state and major university in America. No shortage of money has been spent to study cancer. They come up with new treatments and drugs. Still, tens of thousands of people die from cancer every year consistently. There is no money in cures. Maintenance is the business. ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  11. i don't believe the slug bounced off his chest. I think the shooter was going for for a head shot and hit him in the neck. I wouldn't say the 22-year old shooter was an expert but he spent enough time at the gun range to be proficient. Again, learning how to use firearms is something white folks do for *fun*.๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜Ž
  12. I've seen the video. To me, everything looked consistent with the distance from which he was shot. Had the shooter been closer, the results of the shot would have looked a lot different to include taking his head off and knocking his azz out of the chair.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  13. Not necessarily at 200 yards away. That's 600 feet. The equivalent of 2 football fields. It was still an effective kill shot. No exit.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  14. Jimmy Kimmel returned today (Tuesday) to his late night talk show. Unfortunately, those who live in markets where Sinclair and Nexstar own ABC affiliate stations won't be able to see the show. Combined they own about 70 ABC stations. Some amount of money may have to change hands in order to open those ABC markets.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  15. First, they where white men. Different ballgame. The road to freedom was not easy for the United States. The nation had to fight for its independence. There was a civil war. Plenty other issues along the way. While the United States is the greatest super power on the planet today, it still has unresolved warts. That is why the US is considered a great experiment. Of course, mayor Marion Barry had his personal own issues that derailed and tarnished his political career. Grooming the next generation of leaders is definitely the missing link. We see it every day. No strong Black leaders since 1968. The Nation of Islam doesn't appear to have a succession plan whenever Minister Farrakhan closes his eyes. Hopefully, the organization won't go down and have to be resurrected again. At this point in time, Black folks are so splintered into little tribes, there is no MAGA or Turning Point movement brewing among our people.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  16. Birth defects, cancer and other illnesses, diseases and conditions have been around for thousands of years. Long before science progressed. Modern medicine has made health-care more manageable. The powerful and greedy folks figured out a long time ago there is no money in a cure. Research, maintenance (medication), hospitalization and funerals, etc., are the money-makers when it comes to diseases, conditions and illnesses. ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  17. IMO, it's not about disposable income because most people including white folks don't have it. However, weapons training, hunting and survivalism is white folks idea of *fun*.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  18. Correct. I have never seen creative people who were *better* under the influence. Especially not if they aren't already gifted and/or talented. However, I've known several extremely gifted and talented folks whose lives were either ruined or they left the planet early as a result of drugs and/or alcohol. ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  19. We should be teaching and learning survival skills. No different from joining the military. For Black folks, put a paycheck on the end of the requirement and interest will shoot through the roof.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  20. Every member of the current administration and their supporters benefitted from being vaccinated too. Those people are selfish and ignorant. Agreed. I don't believe limited or different development has anything to do with acetaminophen. I'm curious to see how many doctors will line up to champion this BS. It would be crazy for RFK Jr. to walk away with a Noel Prize. If so, I would hope that he allows AI to give his acceptance speech.๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  21. RFK jr.'s own family believes he's a nut-job. He's had health issues in the past and a condition that rendered his voice marbalized. Some folks think there was or is a worm in RFK jr.'s brain. That would explain a lot considering how he thinks. Nonetheless, POTUS OJ has put RFK Jr. in charge of MAHA (Make America Healthy Again). Americans have to put up with this health foolishness for a few more years or until RFK jr. gets himself fired.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  22. https://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/trump-expected-link-autism-with-tylenol-experts-say-more-research-needed-2025-09-22/ Nevermind that acetaminophen commonly known as Tylenol has been around for over 100 years. While there is no scientific proof, the current administration under POTUS OJ claims that pregnant women taking Tylenol could lead to autism in their unborn children. In making his announcement, POTUS OJ needed help pronouncing acetaminophen. Leader of the free world can't read. Go figure.๐Ÿคฃ This is consistent with the Secretary of Health & Human Services attack on vaccines and anything else his kooky science rejects. Amazingly, there's no shortage of supposedly knowledgeable medical professionals who will jump on TV and back the ridiculous. Money is a powerful motivator. Some people are willing to sell themselves for even less. In the meantime, Americans can look forward to the following: 1) less food dyes 2 return to sugar cane over high fructose corn syrup 3) non-mandatory vaccinations for schoolchildren 4) updated warning labels on Tylenol Only 9 months into the 2nd term of POTUS OJ. Hang on to hats and seats on this rollercoaster. ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  23. My team...Commanders won. Da Bears beating brakes off the Cowbums completed my football Sunday.๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜Ž
  24. I also believe luck is the biggest factor when it comes to longevity. I've seen relatively healthy younger folks leave the planet suddenly and older folks who engaged in decades of what they consider *destructive behavior*, @aka Contrarian, despite those days of being in a holding pattern, I think it's great that you've had a long fruitful life. Especially those years spent as a wife. Reads like you and your husband had a blast together. Music and laughter...it doesn't get much better. ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  25. Right. No panel required for some cases. ๐Ÿคฃ Still, there's no universal standards when it comes to beauty or ugly.๐Ÿ˜ I definitely wasn't coming against our sista Kelly Price. She's always been beautiful whether chunky or Ozempic. My point was the music industry wasn't giving out records to the chunky church girls who could blow the roof off a building with their singing talent. Having been among musicians for over half my life, I can confirm that none of that stuff really makes them more creative or better. The end result is that drugs and alcohol do more harm than good In the long run. Look no further than the "where are now" profile of their lives.๐Ÿ˜Ž
